• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support the increase of time to 30 days because counties are the centre of devolution. Allowing Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) is also good, as the former speaker has said, because their capacity may not be at par with the National Assembly. I support. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this. I am a Member of the PIC and I wish to applaud my Chairman for the able manner in which he moved the Report. First, I support the adoption of the Report. The Tassia II Project had become a cash cow, particularly for those who were in the NSSF and the Ministry of Labour. They allowed squatters to move into what used to be known in the 1990s as the Mwenje Scheme, the then Member of Parliament for Embakasi who used to have miradis where ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: or three CEOs annually. This Fund, which is the workers’ money, has become a cash cow for many people. The Committee has made a recommendation on the issue of who should meet the cost of the infrastructural development, now that all the plots were sold as serviced plots. It is true, as the Member said, that this is like a private public partnership. The purchasers of the plots must meet the cost of putting up roads, water and other services like shops. No money from the workers should be put into this. I am not sure this has been implemented ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to support because getting professional staff especially with the relevant skills like forensic studies is very critical, especially in asset recovery. I support. view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I would like to congratulate my friend, Hon. Kisang, for moving it. I would like to start by correcting my good friend, Hon. Oner, who said that these issues are found in Jubilee zones. This is a national security issue which cuts across the country, including the Coast region and even Muhoroni Constituency, where he comes from. Secondly, rustling has become a serious issue in this country. I recall that during the 10th Parliament there was a select committee which went round the ... view
• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the President’s recommendation because it says that the people’s representatives should scrutinise the production sharing contract. It is very critical for us to do so. Thank you. view

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Mwaura for coming up with this timely Motion. I wish to ask him, like other colleagues, to move quickly and develop a Bill to assist our youth, knowing that our youth comprise about 70 per cent of our population. I am saying this because in my constituency, we have a group of youths who have developed an anti-virus software that has been adopted by over 20,000 users. They have been recognised by Microsoft from the United States of America and yet, our Government has not ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support the amendment which proposes to nominate a person to the Board from a chartered public university which offers engineering courses. I also wanted to talk about the New Clause (1)(e), which says that the Director-General of the Authority shall be an ex-officio member of the Board. The Chair should consider saying that the Director-General shall be the Secretary to the Board. I wonder whether the Chair of the Committee is listening. view
